Elliott Pond landowner asks planners to endorse town square By KAREN BRAINARD A town square or subdivision sprawl of entrylevel homes? That’s the choice, said Jim Hagey, who owns the 20 acres of property that includes Elliott Pond behind Stater Bros. shopping center. The decision, he said, depends on whether Ramona Community Planning Group endorses his request to include his property in the Ramona Village Design Group’s Town Center plan of form-based codes. “That vote is going to be very important,� said Hagey. After owning the property for 14 years, Hagey said he has to do something. If he can’t build the

town square, which he called “a fabulous opportunity� for Ramona, he will sell the property to

a developer. He has had various offers, he said, with proposals to build entry-level homes and no

public access to the pond if the pond remains. Hagey didn’t get the votes he needed at the

planning group’s April 3 meeting, but he hopes to be back on the planners’ agenda May 1. The April vote, taken after planners discussed the possibility of a big box retailer at the site, drew seven yes votes. Five members were absent and four voted no — Kevin Wallace, Donna Myers, Richard Tomlinson and Jim Cooper. Eight yes votes are needed for approval. Hagey has the support of the Ramona Village Design Group, which anticipates the Town Center Document going before the county planning commission in May. The property has residential zoning — RS-7, RS-4 and RU-24 — said See TOWN SQUARE page AA2

Wildlife center director shares springtime advice By MARTA ZARRELLA San Vicente Valley Club members, like most Ramona residents, know that springtime is the most vibrant time for Mother Nature. It means wildflowers, vibrant grasslands and babies — lots of animal babies. Many wild species give birth in or near backyards or in the places where Ramonans enjoy outdoor activities. The timing was right to learn about the rehabilitation facility that helps with so many of those native species who share Ramona’s outdoor spaces, so the club invited Ali Crumpacker, director

of The Fund for Animals Wildlife Center, as its guest speaker. “We got a call from the San Vicente Golf Course once about a baby barn own that had fallen out of a tree on the golf course,� said Crumpacker. “The tree was too tall for the crew to put the baby bird back since the nest was about 40 feet in the air, so they called us. The first choice is always to put the baby back in its nest, but in this case the nest was much too high.� A New Jersey native, Crumpacker grew up on a farm with goats, chickens and horses. She earned See WILDLIFE page AA2

Water and sewer rates will not increase by more than 6 percent beginning July 1, Ramona Municipal Water District directors determined by a 3-0 vote. Directors Rex Schildhouse and Kit Kesinger were absent. The district plans to mail its notice to customers with the not-to-exceed 6 percent rate hikes the week of May 5 to allow the state-required 45 days before its public hearing, scheduled for June 24 at 2 p.m. The board has the option to propose a less than 6 percent rise. “The increases are relatively small compared to previous years, which is good,� Richard Hannasch, the district’s financial services director, told the board at its April 8 meeting. At 6 percent, the treated water rate would increase from $4.56 per unit to $4.83 per unit. A unit of water is 748 gallons. General untreated water would go from $3.86 per unit to $4.09.

her master’s degree in zoologic administration from George Mason University after earning a bachelor’s in environmental studies. She has an extensive background in animal rehabilitation, having worked in the field since 2006. Her priorities for the 13-acre center operated in partnership with the Humane Society of the United States, include growing the list of active volunteers as well as renovating some of the animal enclosures. Though the wildlife center on Highland Valley Road has a number of lifetime residents, its goal is to rehabilitate and release as many animals as possible. It is not a sanctuary, and, if the animal is too dangerous, sick or injured in such a way that rehabilitation is not an option, the case is

referred to agencies such as the California Department of Fish And Wildlife or San Diego Animal Control. Noting that euthanasia is not always the outcome for animals referred to Animal Control, Crumpacker encouraged people not to be afraid to call them. The wildlife center tries to release the animals within three miles of where they were found after rehabilitation. For that reason, the public is asked to make note of where an injured animal is found. She cautioned against “Googling” animal care and feeding pet or human food to wild animals, especially babies. The best thing to do is to call the center first at 760-7892324. They will assess the situation and advise what’s best for the animal and the caller.

Town square

Hagey. To be included in the Town Center Document of form-based codes would give him mixeduse zoning for retail and residential. Otherwise, to change the zoning, Hagey said he would have to go through the lengthy and costly discretionary permit process at the county. During the past 14 years, Hagey has seen his dream of a pre-1940s walkable residential/retail community fade due to numerous obstacles. To build the homes he envisioned would now necessitate a selling price of $450,000 per home, he said. “I refuse to build sprawl,” said Hagey. At the planning group’s January meeting, he presented his idea of a town square around Elliott Pond that could include cafes with outdoor seating, a soda fountain, a wine bar or brew pub, art gallery, and small retail

If a call goes to voicemail, Crumpacker recommends safely confining the animal and, if possible, bringing it to the center at 18740 Highland Valley Road. “We only have a limited number of volunteers, so we can’t do transport 100 percent of the time,” she said. "If no one is in the office, calls do go to voicemail, but we do get back to callers as quickly as we can.” The most frequent calls from Ramona involve situations with ducks, rabbits, crows and coyotes. A mother duck and her ducklings might end up in a pool, koi pond or other man-made body of water. Though the mother duck can climb out of a swimming pool, the babies cannot. If the mother duck leaves, she will not return, said Crumpacker. Should

stores, and activities such as fishing, feeding ducks and outdoor plays. He wants to create a place where people can gather and enjoy themselves. “It will be, I think, the glue that holds Ramona together,” Hagey said. To make that financially viable, however, Hagey said he needs larger retailers on the southern portion of his property, and that could mean a big box store or mediumsize retailers. At the planners’ April 3 meeting, chair Jim Piva said he received a call from county Supervisor Dianne Jacob’s office to get his opinion on Hagey’s request. Piva said to Hagey: “I think you heard very crystal clear from this body that a big box store is not what we’re looking for. We do not want a big box to take out all our small mom and pops. We want

to see that developed in a proper way.” Appearing with Hagey at the meeting were village design co-chair Carol Fowler and village design member and developer Steve Powell. Powell noted that by including the property in the formbased code, anything built would have to follow the design standards to be harmonious with buildings on Main Street. Hagey told the Sentinel that there are many places for a large retailer in Ramona where the design standards would not pertain. “If you go with the village design (plan), you can’t go with an ugly big box,” he said. Fowler said she has additional information to present to the planning group to get Hagey’s item on the May 1 agenda. Piva said the agenda request will be considered.

you find baby ducks floating in your yard with no sign of their mother, gently scoop them out of the water, being careful not to entangle them or hurt their wings and take them to the center. This is the season for baby rabbits. Mother rabbits nurse their babies every 12 hours, so it is normal for a nest of baby bunnies to be alone without an adult rabbit. Rabbit nests are usually in tall grass or among weeds where the mother can bend leaves and stalks to protect her babies. Human scent will not keep a mother rabbit away from her nest. If you see a nest, and the babies look young and healthy, they should be left alone. Their mother will return. Baby crows are often seen on the ground, causing concern to people who see them. It is natural behavior for baby crows to sit on the ground until they are ready to fly, said Crumpacker. If the baby crow is sitting upright, looks healthy and alert and is watching you as much as you are watching it, it is fine. It is also normal for the adult crows to dive bomb the baby to encourage flight. The adult crows are teaching the babies, not attacking them. They might, however, attack a curious human who gets too close to a baby on the ground.

Ali Crumpacker, director of The Fund for Animals Wildlife Center on Highland Valley Road, shares facts about Ramona’s wildlife.

Other advice Crumpacker shared applies to coyotes and other “nuisance” animals such as raccoons, possum and skunks. She warns against leaving pet food out at night when these animals hunt, because they will learn to search there for food. Anyone who finds a coyote or other animal den, disturb the den — not the animals — gently, and the mother will move the babies. Crumpacker suggested making the access hole bigger to expose more of the den, spraying white vinegar or ammonia around the den, or making the area unpleasant. Loud noise such as a radio

or shining a bright light or a strobe light makes the area undesirable. The mother will move her babies to a more appropriate place. These techniques are called “passive hazing.” They encourage the animal to select another location. Other ways of passively hazing wildlife, are using a water hose, water gun or Nerf gun. Crumpacker suggested calling the wildlife center for hazing advice specific to an individual situation. The center always needs volunteers, she said. The best volunteers are people who are able and willing to learn about wildlife and natural behavior and they must be OK not seeing the animals because healthy animals will hide from humans. Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age, commute to the center and realize that not all stories have a happy ending. They are needed to answer phones, do laundry, prepare food, prepare medication, transport animals, assist with diagnostics, and assist with animal releases. Other volunteer opportunities include enclosure repair and constant cleaning. A memorial garden is planned, and donations of money and gardening expertise also are needed. To learn more about the center, visit www.fundforanimals.org.

which would rise from 95 cents per unit to 99 cents to cover the costs of pumping water up the hill from San Diego County Water Authority lines. A construction charge for operation and maintenance of the water system would go from $5.07 per unit to $5.37. The possible 6 percent increase also would pertain to the monthly service meter charge. Using the scenario that an average household consumes 14 units of water every two months, Hannasch said a customer would see about an $8 increase in his bimonthly water bill. For sewer, the charge is by equivalent dwelling unit (EDU) and most singlefamily homes are assigned 1 EDU. Santa Maria wastewater service area customers would see $38.55 per EDU added to their annual bills while San Vicente plant customers would pay an additional $36.62 per EDU. Hannasch said three primary factors contribute to the rate increases: •Inflation of about 1 to 2 percent. •Three SDG&E rate increases during the past year for municipal industrial customers. Hannasch said the district estimates SDG&E’s increases will add about $284,000 to pumping costs for the 2014-15 fiscal year. •The relocation of a water main that is within the San Vicente Road Improvement Project, estimated to cost the district $377,000 per year in debt service for the next 15 years. Hannasch noted that the county water authority, RMWD’s sole water supplier, has not yet determined a rate increase. The district passes on water authority costs to its customers so, if the supplier’s increase is more than 6 percent, the dif-

ference could be passed on to customers in the following fiscal year, said RMWD General Manager David Barnum. Director George Foote had requested that an evening public hearing be held, but Barnum said board meetings are set by ordinance and that precludes the board from setting rates at special sessions. Barnum, however, suggested a public budget presentation on Monday, June 23, the evening before the scheduled hearing. Foote said that could be a compromise “for those who are saying they can’t attend.” RMWD legal counsel suggested the board discuss the idea at a subsequent meeting. In other board action: •Directors agreed to continue the district’s participation in the county fire mitigation fee program. The fee — 47 cents per square foot — is assessed on new construction within the district and collected by the county. For fiscal year 2012-13, RMWD received $45,105 in fire mitigation fees. The money can only be used for fire department infrastructure or equipment. •Directors elected Foote board treasurer to replace Schildhouse, who resigned as treasurer. Foote also is board secretary. •President Darrell Beck said he would chair an ad hoc subcommittee to review the board’s Policy 1 and “the director Schildhouse matter.” Schildhouse has been at odds with the board since requesting discussion on Policy 1 in February. Zenovic suggested Foote serve on the subcommittee as he and Schildhouse represent portions of San Diego Country Estates.

Fewer claims net insurance refund for water district A check for $239,791 was presented to the Ramona Municipal Water District by representatives of the Association of California Water Agencies Joint Powers Insurance Authority (ACWA/JPIA) as a refund on the district’s insurance premium. “This is our biggest one,� Melody McDonald, ACWA/JPIA executive committee member, said of the amount on April 8. “It’s a pleasure when you invest in your staff.� The JPIA is a partnership of water agencies in California that provides risk-sharing pools to meet

“That was something we put into the contract last fall and it's being used." Director Joe Zenovic members’ needs for property, liability and workers’ compensation coverage. RMWD General Manager David Barnum said the JPIA is the most cost-effective way for the district to insure employees. The refund, Barnum said, will be added to the district’s fund that pays insurance premiums. McDonald noted that RMWD’s staff has undergone additional training. Barnum said that has an

impact on the amount of risks. A safe work force produces fewer claims, he noted. Director Joe Zenovic said employees appear to have taken advantage of an education reimbursement that was included in the district’s contract with its employees union in December 2013. “That was something we put into the contract last fall and it’s being used and that’s great,� he said.

Sailor dies in motorcycle state Route 79 accident A motorcycle accident in Julian, just before 3 p.m. April 11, claimed the life of a 29-year-old active duty sailor who resided in Ramona, according to the medical examiner’s office. His name had not been released by the time the Sentinel went to press, pending notification of next of kin. The sailor was driving a motorcycle northbound on state Route 79, north of KQ Ranch Road and, while maneuvering into a right-hand curve, the bike entered the southbound lanes and he collided head-on with an SUV, stated the medical examiner’s report. Responding paramedics confirmed his death without medical intervention, the report said.

Home-based business moves to Main Street By JESSICA KING Sports fans, take note. Among Main Street’s newest businesses is a shop that caters to you no matter what team you root for. Blue Bolt Jerzys in the Day Promenade building at 850 Main St. was born out of owner Jeff Caddell’s love of all things Chargers but now offers merchandise from other National Football League teams, as well as ones in Major League Baseball

and the National Basketball Association. He also offers to special order harder to find items, such as those branded for an out-of-town college team. And soon he hopes to add Ramona High Bulldog items. The 60-year-old former drug and alcohol counselor started out small three years ago, buying Chargers jerseys on eBay and reselling them one by one. As demand spread, so did his inventory, leading the longtime Ramo-

na resident to open his 1,300-square-foot storefront on March 1. “I’ve been doing online business for three years now,” said Caddell. “Last year was a big year and I grew out of my home, so I had to get it out of there. I could’ve gotten a storage locker but thought why not open this instead.” His favorite part of the job is meeting new people and hearing their stories about why they favor a particular team. Most of the items in Caddell’s shop sell for less than $100. Though more expensive than items sports fans might find “down the hill” from a big box retailer, merchandise sold at Blue Bolt Jerzys is of a higher quality and priced competitively compared to similar items, said Caddell. The coveted football jerseys he carries, for example, have stitched-on letters and names, and are made of Dri-Fit and other more durable fabrics. “They’re not going to

get some screen-print jersey here,” he said. “They’re going to get stitch print. Better quality. More expensive but competitive.” In addition to jerseys, the shop offers items such as team-branded cell

phone covers, vehicle decals, hats, coffee mugs and the like. There are also items for men, women and children. For now, Caddell employs just one other person but, once the next

football season nears, he expects he may need to add more help. Blue Bolt Jerzys is open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Orders also can be placed on www.blueboltjerzeys. com.

chalek and is achieved by 20 percent of agents. Trudy Brodbeck earned “Rookie of the Year” as the agent who had the most transactions in her first year as a real estate agent. “We are very proud of our agents,” said McNorton. “Even though it continues to be a somewhat difficult market, with the focus changing from mostly short-sell homes to the investor-buyer, who then remodels and ‘flips’ the home at a higher price. "This trend makes it a

little more difficult for the normal resale seller and the agent representing them, but our agents push on and do a fantastic job of working for their buyers and sellers.” It is amazing to see how these award-winning agents rank among the top agents in the United States and Canada, noted McNorton. “We hope the people of Ramona appreciate how hard these agents right here in Ramona work to represent them in their most important transactions,” she said.

Sheriff’s senior volunteers Martha Henry and Bill Hicks conduct a YANA (You Are Not Alone) visit.

Honoring thousands of hours of service By CASEY EDWARDS After a lifetime of work, many seniors look forward to the relaxed lifestyle that retirement promises — but the men and women of the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department Senior Volunteer Program in Ramona aren’t ready to settle down just yet. Bill Hicks, the senior volunteer administrator at the sheriff’s Ramona station since 1998, spoke from experience when he said that this volunteer program is “just like a job,� and that these volunteers are “another set of eyes and ears for the

Sheriff’s volunteers Mike Del Silva, right, and Les Hart track graffiti.

Additional requirements include strong moral character and physical and emotional strength. Although the gruesome traffic accidents and home robberies are left for the department

to handle, the senior volunteers are present at the scene, making sure that cameramen, reporters and others don’t get in the way of the detectives and officers. Hicks is particularly excited about the new Graffiti Tracker duties of the volunteers. Each patrol car is equipped with a recording camera to take pictures of graffiti vandalism around San Diego, and these pictures are forwarded to the Sheriff’s Department to help track different people who deface city buildings. Members of the community seeing this kind of vandalism can call the senior volunteers, who document the damages. The senior volunteers also have a program called Y.A.N.A. (You Are Not Alone), where volunteers call homebound or disabled residents every day six days a week, to make sure that they are

doing all right and to offer a friendly voice. This program is a way for volunteers who are passionate about community safety and protection, yet aren’t able to be out in the field, to serve. Another program that the volunteers have taken over for the Sheriff’s Department is the Home Vacation Checks, where members go into the community and check on the homes of families who are away for an extended period of time. This creates a communal sense of stability and protection, and families can be confident when they leave that their home and personal belongings are safe. Twenty-three members of the sheriff’s senior volunteer program in Ramona were presented with Senate Certificates of Recognition for their serSee VOLUNTEERS page A3

By JOE NAIMAN Initial steps to use county library branches for veterans’ service programs have been successful, and the Ramona branch will partner with American Legion Post 332 and the county, possibly as soon as May. San Diego County Library Director Jose Aponte expects programs at Ramona, Julian and Pine Valley libraries to open within the next year. “The particulars are really with the service providers,� he said. Post 332 commander Mike Thweatt believes that in the absence of complications the Ramona library will have

veterans’ services by the beginning of May. “It’s going to be a good thing,� he said. “We’re excited about being able to help the brothers and the sisters.� A 4-0 San Diego County Board of Supervisors vote March 11, with Ron Roberts in Washington, D.C., directed staff to continue support for expanding county library locations for veteran service programs and to identify eligible local volunteers to assist the veterans. On Oct. 22, the supervisors voted 5-0 to direct staff to explore the feasibility of utilizing the county library system to expand services to the county’s veteran population.

towels or blankets are recommended to sit on the grass. Beach chairs are not allowed. A blessing of the food is planned. Food must be wrapped or bagged to be brought into the park. After dinner, participants will go to their seats or, if some with children prefer, they can stay in the grass area. Ramona businesses or individuals can

They also asked, if they can, to sponsor someone who otherwise would not be able to attend. “Currently we are looking for 10 sponsors for In His Steps Recovery,â€? said Jim Tate, one of the event organizers. For more information, contact Tate at jimtate@jgtate.com or 760-445-5650 or Kevin SpringďŹ eld at 760-315-2323.

“This is a good start, but we’re not done and there is more work to do,â€? said Supervisor Dianne Jacob, this year’s board chair. “There will be several additional locations.â€? San Diego County is home to approximately 240,000 veterans, the second largest population in the state and the third largest in the nation. The county established the Veterans Services OfďŹ ce to assist veterans in obtaining local, state and federal beneďŹ ts to which they are entitled. Services include beneďŹ ts counseling, claims preparation and submission, claims follow-up, appeals, and advocacy with other veteran service organizations throughout the country. County Veterans Services ofďŹ cers meet

with veterans to provide services. “Many of the veterans and their families reside in rural areas of the county,â€? Jacob said. “I think it’s important that they have the ability to access that information,â€? said Supervisor Bill Horn. Before the use of library branches, service ofďŹ cers provided assistance at nine locations in the San Diego area. Some of those locations are staffed full time while others are staffed only one day a week. Jacob had been asked why none of the locations were in East County, and the question resulted in her efforts to increase the number of locations. The option of stafďŹ ng a location on a

A successful coach must be a salesman, role model, teacher I have often said that there are no minor sports in the high school. Minor sports are like minor operations. They are only minor if they are not on you. However, there are money-producing sports and they are a major factor in financing the non-revenue producing sports. Presently there are five money producing teams at Ramona High School: football, freshman football, wrestling, girls basketball and boys basketball. We are presently in the process of hiring a boys roundball coach. It is an important hire. Dr. Chris King, the principal at Ramona High School, and athletic director Damon Baldwin recently conducted an open meeting at RHS to explain to the community what was happening in the hiring process. King asked those present what traits and qualities they would like in the next coach at Ramona High school. I feel compelled to contribute my less than humble but highly educated opinion of what it takes to be a successful coach in any sport, be it major or minor, revenue-producing or non-revenue-producing. To be a successful coach, one must be a salesman. A coach must sell himself to five factions of the community. I use the acronym FACES. F. Family. A lot of family sacrifice is prevalent in high school sports. There is a financial burden on the family. It costs money to play high school sports: fees, shoes, insurance, travel, time. Dinner schedules are nonexistent. Some teams practice at nights, especially in the winter. It takes time away from work to see the afternoon and/or evening games. It costs money to take a family to games. It costs to drive to those games. Add to that the off-season costs: travel teams, private lessons, personal trainers, sports psychologist and often special diets. The family must support the coach and believe that the coach has the best interest of the student/athlete as the number one priority. A: Administration. If a coach does not have the support of the administration at the high school and See TAMBURRINO page 6

Thankful for growers My healthy glow comes from eating rainbow-colored anti-oxidant rich, farm fresh, specialty varieties of vegetables and eggs. Where else in Ramona but Connelly Farms could have gotten yearround naturally grown vegetables and herbs including orange and purple cauliflower and artichokes for the past 20 years? The quality draws me back to graze through the stand weekly, but if I work Saturdays I can order a box for Tuesday pickup. The fresh peas make an awesome alternative to chips to dip.

Outstanding Agents. Outstanding Results.

I have to say thank you to the folks at Connelly Farms for growing naturally and locally before it was the trend, for promoting conservation efforts in Ramona, for gifting the community with bug talks and ongoing willingness to give back to the community. Recently I was reading dynamic health factoids in the Scripp’s employee’s wellness program: “The healthiest populations in the world eat as much as a pound of vegetables per person every day.” And “people who eat five or more servings of fruits and vegetables every day cut their risk of cancer in half when compared to those who only eat one serving.” I found myself smiling. I have started every day with a variety of delicious, fresh greens for breakfast for years. Thank you to all the local growers for helping our community be healthier, but especially thank you to Connelly Farms for being the opening act on the flavorful stage of locally grown in Ramona and making healthy eating possible, and for so many yummy-filled memories!

at the district levels, then that coach is doomed to failure. In this day and age when everybody and anybody can be a high school coach, administrators are under constant pressure from groups in the community that would like to take over and run the high school athletic program and hire and fire coaches. Administrative support is a must if any coach is to be successful. Most administrators have been coaches and/or advisors and understand the educational value of co-curricular activities in education. That is why King would like all of his coaches to be teacher/coaches, but because of the number of teams at the high school, that is no longer possible, so he maintains an open mind.

The administration makes the final decision in hiring and firing coaches. It is not an easy job. Most of the time they please fewer people than umpires do on a close call. C: Community. Now more than ever the community must support coaches and their teams. No sport gets enough budget money for supplies, uniforms, transportation, meals or snacks when traveling on road trips, spirit packs, etc. The community is constantly asked to help with fundraisers, transportation, chaperoning road trips and moral support. No coach can do a good job or keep a job without the support of the community. E: Educators. The teachers have to be willing to help student/athletes

and support them. Students miss a lot of class time, especially on the lower level teams. Some student/athletes have to miss class time for home games. Baseball, softball and basketball players can miss as many as 30 classes in a season. To remain eligible to play, student/ athletes need the support of their teachers. Assistant coaches are also educators and if they are not on board with the coach and program they can destroy a head coach. S: Student/athletes.

In high school it is not only about winning. It is about sending winners out into the world. A head coach must be a salesman, an administrator, a role model, a parent in absentia, a communicator. Most importantly, a coach must be a good teacher. King said it all at the community meeting: “Good teachers are good coaches and good coach-

Doug Sooley of Ramona captures the total lunar eclipse early Tuesday morning. The first since December 2011, the eclipse turned the moon red, a reason it is referred to as blood moon. Total lunar eclipses occur when Earth is between the sun and the full moon. The Tuesday event is the first of four, known as a tetrad. The next will be on Oct. 8, with the following two in 2015 — on April 4 and on Sept. 28.

End-of-life decisions are topic of Elizabeth Hospice talk An Elizabeth Hospice representative will discuss advance directives at the Ramona Senior Center on Thursday, April 24, at 10 a.m. The talk comes a week after National Healthcare Decisions Day. Community members will have an opportunity to complete their Advance Directive and learn how to communicate their end-of-life decisions with family members and healthcare providers. More than 80 percent of patients with chronic diseases say they want to avoid hospitalization and intensive care when they are dying, according

to the Dartmouth Atlas of Healthcare, yet only 25 percent of Americans actually die at home, the Centers for Disease Control reports. “At The Elizabeth Hospice, we have found that it is easier and less emotional to have these discussions before serious

illness or catastrophic circumstances make difficult decisions necessary,” said Lisa Marcolongo, media relations specialist with the organization. The Elizabeth Hospice, the region’s oldest and largest nonprofit hospice program, has a 36-year tradition as provider of

medical, emotional and spiritual support to the seriously ill and their families. To learn more, call 760-737-2050 or visit elizabethhospice.org. The presentation in Ramona is open to the public and free of charge. The senior center is at 434 Aqua Lane.

for the program’s expansion. Post 332 holds its meetings in the Ramona Library Community Room on the fourth Friday of each month. “The people there are very respectful and do a lot of things for the community,” Thweatt said. Thweatt expects to have veteran service volunteers at the Ramona branch two or three days each week. “Hopefully we can put a name where they need to go,” he said. “We make every effort to get the benefits these people need. The

big push is to make sure that everybody has the chance to get the information they want.” Thweatt added that Post 332 may obtain a van to transport veterans to the Veterans Administration hospital in La Jolla, the VA center in Mission Valley in San Diego, and other places that assist veterans. “Things are really happening,” he said. “I’m excited about the collaboration,” Aponte said, noting the importance of volunteers in implementing library programs.

“We only have 270 people working in 33 libraries and two bookmobiles, but we have in excess of a thousand volunteers.” Aponte explained that information and education are objectives of the library system. “It’s a good partner,” he said. Aponte cited an English and citizenship program as a past example of the development of a program utilizing County Library branches. “These initiatives start and in five, seven, eight years they become institutional,” he said.

Narcolepsy in Horses – Did You Know?

T

he other day I was having lunch with a friend, and she mentioned that a gal she knows has a horse that may have narcolepsy. It caught my breath. I had never considered that this disorder may occur in the equine species. Horses sleep so little each day that I would never imagine narcolepsy would happen for them. Horses rest a lot. In fact, most of every day is eating or resting, but actual sleep is not part of their

nature. Adult horses sleep about three hours in a 24hour period, with younger horses and senior-aged horses sleeping more than that, just as in the human species. I asked what would make anyone think a horse may have narcolepsy. She explained that it is not yet confirmed, but the horse is suddenly unable to travel because she passes out in the trailer. This is a horse that has been to many shows,

won too many ribbons and prizes for me to mention, and has been in a trailer to travel all over the state for several years. My friend explained that the vet the owner is consulting about this horse is performing some tests and gathering more information, but the thought is narcolepsy at this time. Narcolepsy is a sleep disorder involving the brain. It occurs when the brain cannot normally regulate cycles of sleep and wake. This can cause daytime excessive sleepiness that results in episodes of falling asleep suddenly, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS). In addition to excessive sleepiness, many patients with narcolepsy experience sudden loss of

muscle tone (called cataplexy). This often occurs in the knees, face and neck, and may be triggered by emotions like excitement or surprise. This diagnosis does make sense for this particular horse because, when she is placed in a trailer and it begins to move, she passes out and falls over. The cataplexy hits the horse hard. This situation has frightened the owner of the horse, who also didn’t consider narcolepsy as a potential problem at the onset. The first episode made the poor owner think her horse had dropped dead. How scary for her! Narcolepsy is not a result of lack of sleep but does cause excessive tiredness, as noted by the NINDS. After doing some research on the subject, and let me remind you that I

am not a veterinarian, I found that just as in people, the cause of equine narcolepsy is not fully known. It is believed that sometimes the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the brain cells involved in regulating the sleep cycle and that narcolepsy may be the result of these cells being damaged or destroyed. It has been found that some horses are born with the condition and may recover, some will live with it forever, some have adult onset and sometimes it is stress induced. I also found that it is more common than I would have imagined. It just goes undiagnosed in milder cases much of the time. We’ve probably all known a horse with the disorder but never suspected it.

I’ve seen horses pass out at the hitch rail, even fall over, but it never crossed my mind that this was an issue of narcolepsy. I’ve seen horses pass out, or nearly so, upon being cinched. That, too, may be a form of the condition. Treatments are available. Imipramine is a tricyclic antidepressant but has had inconsistent results. Another treatment, Atropine sulfate, relieves the condition in horses for up to 30 hours. Both of these drugs have been reported to cause colic attacks, so the risk may far outweigh the benefit. If you think your horse may have narcolepsy, talk to your vet. While narcolepsy is not deadly, the result of falling, passing out and See MANES & TRAILS page 13

I continue to learn and be amazed that these giant creatures that seem so robust and durable are actually quite delicate and sophisticated.

hitting things or getting stuck and thrashing about certainly can be deadly. With or without drug therapy, narcoleptic horses require more monitoring, thought and attention to their environment than normal horses. Talk to your vet, friends, and conduct your own research to keep your equine friend as safe as you can. If you suspect you’ve got a sleeper on your hands, it just may be true. Books and online information are available, and to know that you are not alone provides a bit of comfort.

VFW honors Breneman as Deputy of Year ‘Spurned lover’ trial set for assault, carjacking suspects

Thursday, April 17, 2014

Ramona Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3783 honored sheriff’s Deputy Jim Breneman as Deputy of the Year on Saturday. Serving at the sheriff’s Ramona station for approximately three years, Breneman is a corporal assigned to patrol, and he trains new deputies assigned to Ramona. According to Lt. Hank Turner at the Ramona station, Breneman is respected by his peers and the residents of Ramona, and has received multiple calls from the public thanking him for his work. Breneman has been proactive in handling crime problems in the Ramona area and has made numerous arrests for drug offenses, said Turner. The deputy has recovered the most stolen vehicles at the Ramona sta-

tion for two consecutive years. With Breneman’s contribution to reducing the crime rate in Ramona, the FBI Crime Index Number dropped 46 percent in one year, from 20.2 crimes per 10,000 resi-

dents to 10.4 in 2013, said Turner. “Deputy Breneman’s hard work, innovation, and leadership are one of the reasons Ramona is a safer place to live than it was 12 months ago,� Turner said.

“It started by a spurned lover.� That’s what Deputy District Attorney Valerie Ryan described as the motive behind the beating and carjacking of the new boyfriend of the ex-girlfriend of Ricardo Daniel Macedo, 25, of Ramona. Macedo and Elias Ruiz, 25, were ordered April 10 to stand trial for carjacking and felony assault upon Ulysses Higuera, who at the preliminary hearing identified both men as his attackers on Main Street on Nov. 24, 2013. Higuera told El Cajon Superior Court Judge Ronald Frazier that he noticed he was being followed and pulled into a parking space at 7:58 p.m. on Main Street. Higuera said the men immediately blocked him with a vehicle Ruiz drove and he was punched repeatedly. Higuera said he fell to the ground and was kicked three times in the face and stomach. “I was trying to defend myself,� he said, adding that he was punched 10 times. “You’re messing with my girlfriend,� Higuera quoted Macedo as saying, noting that Macedo used a slang word in Spanish to refer to his ex-girlfriend. Higuera said he ran into a liquor store and asked a clerk to call 911, but the clerk refused. Higuera said Macedo got into his truck and Ruiz drove Macedo’s vehicle away and he was left there. Higuera testified he got his 2007 truck

back several days later at an impound lot, but there were several things missing. Higuera, who lives in San Pasqual Valley, said he had X-rays taken and missed a week of work from a plumbing company. He said he had black eyes, swollen nose and a chipped tooth. Photos of the victim were shown to Frazier. Sheriff’s detective Aldo Hernandez testified he viewed the video tape from surveillance cameras at Mike’s Liquor store and said both men grabbed Higuera out of the truck, and then punched and kicked him. Ruiz and Macedo admitted the assault and car theft during interviews at the sheriff’s substation in Ramona, the detective said. He said Ruiz described the assault in obscenities, and a less colorful description was “we beat him up very good.� Hernandez said Ruiz told him that Macedo had called him and asked for a favor and he agreed to participate. The men’s attorneys argued they should not stand trial for carjacking, saying there was no intent to take the car. Macedo’s lawyer, David Gutierrez, said his client was “getting revenge� due to jealousy, but there was no plan to take the car. Frazier said there was enough evidence to warrant a trial for both carjacking and assault. A trial date will be set on May 1. Both have pleaded not guilty and remain free on $75,000 bond each.

Bulldog baseball sweeps three-game series By BILL TAMBURRINO Watching Ramona High’s baseball team play Mission Vista High School is like listening to Sirius Radio: the hits just keep on coming. Ramona opened Valley League play by sweeping a three-game series over Mission Vista. The Bulldogs got dominant pitching and a season’s worth of hits in the league opening series. Joel Mitchell had a week to remember at the plate. The senior first baseman/designated hitter hit four home runs in the series and has hit five home runs in the last four games.

Carl Schwettman strikes the ball during Ramona’s win over Mission Vista.

“Most coaches would rather have strong pitching than strong hitting.

This week we got both,� said coach Dean Welch. “Our pitching staff was

excellent and our bats were torrid. None of the hits that our starters gave

up were hit hard and there were only four of those.� Ramona blasted 19 hits in a 15-1 road victory over Mission Vista on April 8. Mitchell led the attack, hitting two home runs, scoring two runs and driving in five runs. He was one of seven Bulldogs who enjoyed multiple-hit games. Gage Canning and Zach Sherman collected three hits apiece. Canning went 3-for-4 with three RBIs, and scored two runs with a double and a stolen base. Sherman was 3-for5 with two doubles, two RBIs and two runs. Tanner Williams, Carl Schwettman, Blake Work-

man and Jordan Farhat all stroked two hits apiece. Williams had a triple and a stolen base. Workman and Schwettman blasted doubles. Farhat stole three bases. Jonathan Doulgeropoulos, Todd Roberts and John Mackay had one hit apiece. Workman was dominant on the mound. He pitched five innings and did not give up an earned run and struck out five as he limited the Timberwolves to two scratch hits. Sherman pitched two innings in relief and struck out four. In his home debut Kyle Wilson pitched five inSee BASEBALL on page 27

Leadership, pitching contribute to two wins By BILL TAMBURRINO The Bulldog girls softball team opened Valley League action with two strong pitching performances that resulted in two league wins on the road. Coach Cori McDonald was pleased with the team’s pitching, hitting and especially the senior leadership. “Our senior leadership got us two league wins,” she said. “To say that they stepped up to the plate would not be a cliché. Amber Davis, Kailey Hill and Bre Hirsh all hit home runs. Christina Barrameda was robbed of a home run at Valley Center when their outfielder reached over the fence to catch a drive off of her bat. Senior leadership is very important because we have five freshmen and three sophomores on our team.” Hill saved her best outing of the year for the Valley League opener against Valley Center April 7. The senior hurler went the distance and limited the Jaguars to three hits and no earned runs as she struck out nine. Only four Jaguar hitters got the ball out of the infield. Valley Center got on the scoreboard first with an unearned run in the first inning. Amber Davis tied the score in the third inning with a solo home run to dead center field. The game was tied in the top of the seventh inning when Sara Whelehon led off the inning with a base hit. Jordyn Fick reached on an error. With two down, the Jaguars issued Hill an intentional walk, her third base on balls of the game. Hanah Bowen then hit a shot to

“Our senior leadership got us two league wins. To say that they stepped up to the plate would not be a cliché." — Softball coach Cori McDonald third that was ruled an error but drove in two runs. Hill retired the side in the bottom of the seventh to preserve the win. Bowen was in complete control as she pitched a two-hit shutout against Oceanside on the road April 10. The freshman hurler struck out a career-high 13 batters and walked only one. “She pitched a very good game. She pitched more like a veteran than a freshman,” said McDonald. Bowen also helped her own cause at the plate as she went 3-for-3, scored two runs and drove in a run. Hirsh and Hill each hit round-trippers to pace a 14hit attack as the Lady Dawgs turned in an 11-0 win. Hill was 3-for-3 and scored three runs. Fick had a double and a single and an RBI. Jonna Rodriguez also had a three-hit game with a double and an RBI. Hayley Brinker and Whelehon also singled. Brinker drove in a run. The Lady Bulldogs will take spring break off and return to the diamond on April 22 at home in a nonleague game against Steele Canyon.

Mermen win league opener

Cycle Dawgs earn 4th-place team finish Ramona High School Cycle Dawgs achieved fourth place as a team — their best finish this season — during their recent bike race in the mountains above Lake Isabella at the Keyesville Special Recreation Management Area. The “Cruise the Keys” race April 6 consisted of fivemile laps with over 700 feet of climbing in each lap, according to coach Robert Grace. Cyclist Kyle Skeen took third place in the varsity boys division. “After 25 miles, varsity racer Kyle Skeen out-sprinted another racer for a third-place finish,” Grace reported. Jaron Cappos won first place among sophomore boys in that group’s 15-mile race. It was the third time this season that Cappos earned first place. “JV (junior varsity) racers Jaime Leyva and Nick Stemper worked together during their 20-mile effort and finished 33rd and 37th,” said Grace. “Freshmen racers continued to improve — Andrew Finley had his season-best finish, 16th position, and Sean Duffy powered up the steep climbs, earning a 30th place.”

Cycle Dawg Jaron Cappos takes his first-place podium spot for the sophomore boys race at the “Cruise the Keys” high school mountain biking competition April 6.

In the freshman girls race, the Cycle Dawgs' Gwendalyn Gibson just missed the podium with a sixthplace finish. The race was the fourth competition for the Cycle Dawgs in the SoCal High School Cycling League Division 2. Overall the team is in sixth place. The next race will be the Cow Pie Classic, SoCal Series Finals, at The Dirt Club in Los Olivos on April 27. The state championships will follow on May 11 at Laguna Seca in Monterey. —Karen Brainard

Ramona High School’s boys swim team won its Valley League opener at home, beating Valley Center High School 117-31. “I’m happy with the way the team’s coming together this season,” said coach Jolyn Yanez. The Bulldogs compete in a Valley League contest at home Thursday against Escondido Charter. Ramona took firstplace points in 10 of the 11 events against Valley Center on April 3. A school can enter up to three swimmers in each individual event, and in two races the Bulldogs had the top three finishers. The fastest three 100-yard backstroke swimmers

were Garrett Glaudini at 57.38 seconds, Spencer Schwegler with a time of 1:07.94 and Tyler Crouch with a 1:12.63 performance. Carlo Silva needed 1:02.84 to win the 100-yard breaststroke with Cory Davison taking second at 1:07.81 and Bryan Larson earning third place with a time of 1:17.59. Silva also won the 200-yard individual medley race, completing his eight laps in 2:11.91. Connor Close was second at 2:41.68. Years ago Yanez taught a tot class that included 3-year-old Trevor White. White is now a Ramona High School freshman, and in the April 3 meet he earned his first high school win by finishing the 200-yard freestyle race in 2:11.28. “It came full circle with See MERMEN on page 26

By JOE NAIMAN Ramona High School’s boys volleyball team began the 2014 season by losing its first four matches, but league wins April 9 at home against Orange Glen and April 11 at Val-

ley Center gave the Bulldogs a winning record for the first time this season. With the two victories, Ramona has an overall record of 8-7 and a Valley League record of 3-1. The April 23 league match at San Pasqual will con-

clude the first round of league play. “It’s good to get above .500 and it’s nice to have a winning record in league,� said coach Jeff Klauda. Ramona swept Orange Glen's team in 25-8, 25-9

and 25-11 games. “It was nice to see the guys actually stay focused through the entire match,� Klauda said. “Everyone did a pretty good job all around. We served pretty tough, we passed well, took some

decent swings,� he said. During Ramona’s April 7 and 8 practices Klauda and assistant coach Connie Halfaker focused on identifying opposing offenses so that the Bulldog blockers could position themselves. Orange Glen

Boys track and field evens league record By JOE NAIMAN

A

lthough Ramona High School’s boys track and field team opened Valley League competition with a loss, the Bulldogs earned their first league win April 10 at Orange Glen to even their league record at 1-1. “We swept pretty much almost every event,” said head coach Sherri Edwards. The Bulldogs return to league competition April 24 at home against Del Norte following participation in the April 19 Jaguar Invitational meet in Valley Center. Ramona High swept the top three positions in seven of the 14 individual events while winning both relay races in the 97-30 victory over Orange Glen. The scoring system for individual events gives 5 points to the first-place finisher’s school, 3 points for second place, and 1 point for third, while the two relay races give all 5 points to the winner. Only a third-place Orange Glen finish in the 3,200-meter run kept Ramona from taking all possible 64 points in the non-hurdles running events. Tanarat Crowe won the 100-meter dash in 11.78 seconds while Garrett Binkley and Christian Dominguez both recorded times of 11.95 seconds. Dominguez won the 200-meter dash with a time of 24.01 seconds while Brandon Gansch was second at 24.06 seconds and Kevin Carmona finished third 24.52 seconds after the starter’s gun was fired. In the 400-meter race Carmona’s lap of 53.80 seconds topped the field with Dylan Shields taking 54.27 seconds and Austin Minnocci finishing in 55.04 seconds. Max Edwards won the 800-meter race in 2:06.70,

James Meskell was second at 2:07.45 and Logan White earned his first varsity point with his third-place time of 2:09.41. Edwards also won the 1,600-meter event by finishing in 4:48.81 with Meskell having a secondplace time of 4:49.66 and Gabriel Plendcio earning the third-place point with a 4:49.87 performance. Because the 1,600-meter race precedes the 3,200-meter run, the metric mile gave Plendcio his first varsity point. He added three more in the 3,200-meter competition in which Joey Jauregui earned his first varsity win. Jauregui finished in 10:37.94 while Plendcio took 10:49.87. Tyler Vorce threw the shot put 37 feet, 7 inches for his first varsity win. Connor Anderson was second with a distance of 37-4. Trevor Hodges earned his first varsity points at the meet, which included a third-place shot put throw of 35 8-1/2. Hodges threw the discus 96-3 for second-place points. Anderson, whose discus throw did not place in the April 3 loss against Valley Center, won the event against Orange Glen with a personal record of 124-7. “I was excited that he threw with more confidence,” Sherri Edwards said. Vorce captured the third-place point in the discus event with a throw of 95 feet. Ramona’s 4x100 relay team of Gansch, Garrett Dart, Binkley and Crowe won its race in 44.80 seconds. The Bulldogs’ 4x400 relay quartet of Minnocci, Carmona, Shields and Max Edwards had a winning time of 3:39.58. The Patriots captured 10 of the 18 hurdles points, but Ramona’s Wyatt Scott won the 300-meter hurdles in 43.51 seconds while posting a second-place time of

17.20 seconds in the 110-meter hurdles. Orange Glen swept the 9 triple jump points and also won the other two jumps, but Ramona took second and third in both the high jump and the long jump. In the high jump Colin Uekert had a distance of 5-6 and Shields cleared 5-4. Dart had a long jump of 19-9 and Binkley achieved a distance of 18 feet. No boys pole vaulter from either school had a successful attempt.

Bulldog girls take 93-34 victory over Patriots in track and field events Jackson earns fourth place in Arcadia Invitational pole vault

Ramona Sentinel

By JOE NAIMAN A day after Ramona High School’s girls track and field team earned its first Valley League victory of the year, Courtney Jackson tied for fourth place in the Friday night pole vault at the Arcadia Invitational meet. The Bulldogs defeated Orange Glen by a 93-34 score April 10 at the opponent’s school. Jackson, who cleared 11 feet to win the pole vault at Orange Glen, had a distance of 10-9 in the April 11 Arcadia meet session. “She was a little bit disappointed, but it was a big meet so it was really good competition,” said head coach Sherri Edwards. The win over Orange Glen gave Ramona a 1-1 Valley League record entering the April 24 home meet against Del Norte, which will be preceded by the April 19 Jaguar Invitational meet in Valley Center. In 12 of the 16 events on April 10, Ramona took the five first-place points. In three of the 14 individual events Ramona obtained all 9 points by sweeping the top three positions.

Holly Stallman won the 100-meter dash in 12.75 seconds with Hannah Farhat placing second at 13.58 seconds and Courtney Ford taking third with a 13.51-second performance. Stallman had a winning time of 27.02 seconds in the 200-meter dash with Morgan Wilson earning second place at 29.13 seconds and Kelci Freeman posting a third-place time of 29.74 seconds. Stallman also won the high jump by clearing 4-8, although those were Ramona’s only points in that event. Stallman also contributed to a Ramona win in the 4x100 relay in which Ford, Farhat, Stallman and Wilson completed the race in 51.18 seconds. The winning 4x400 relay team of Emily Sojourner, Farhat, Katherine Lorentz and Wilson finished in 4:35.58. The top three shot put throwers all wore Ramona uniforms: Karah Banegas had a distance of 34-1/2 feet, Kristy Banegas threw the shot put 26-8, and Samantha Koegel hurled the four-kilogram orb 26-4. Karah Banegas also won the discus throw with a toss of 95-5 for the Bulldogs’ only scoring in that event. Sojourner won the 100-meter hurdles in 17.63 sec-

onds while placing second in the 300-meter hurdles at 51.18 seconds. Kinley McKay tied for second in the 100-meter hurdles by completing the race in 18.16 seconds and took third place in the 300-meter hurdles at 57.76 seconds. Perla Cruz won the 3,200-meter race 13:24.22 after the competition began and placed second in the 1,600-meter contest with a performance of 5:54.07. Lorentz won the 400-meter race by completing her lap in 1:04.61; Tuesday Christopher was third in that race with a time of 1:06.49. Teresa Leon had a secondplace time of 2:40.89 in the 800-meter run. Ford’s distance of 33-9 in the triple jump not only won that event but also beat her previous personal record by a foot. “It showed a lot of fortitude by her to be competitive and concentrate,” Edwards said. Ford finished second in the long jump with a distance of 16 feet; Christopher had a long jump of 14-7 to place third. The second-place triple jump distance of 27-7 gave Lilly Fortunato her first varsity points. Jackson’s distance in the pole vault was followed by the 8-6 distance of Kim Klarer. Ford concluded her week by being crowned Miss Ramona. “All-around, well-rounded girl,” said Edwards.

with Trevor. Now he’s on the varsity swim team,” Yanez said. The 50-yard freestyle race paired Glaudini with Valley Center’s Luke Marshall. Glaudini’s winning time of 22.55 seconds is also an automatic qualifying time for the CIF meet. Marshall finished in 22.95 seconds. “That was probably the most exciting race of the afternoon,” said Yanez. Davison posted a CIF meet consideration time of 51.88 seconds when winning the 100-yard freestyle. Schwegler took first place in the 500-yard freestyle race with a consideration time of 5:32.93. Ramona had the first-place team in all three relay races against the Jaguars. Glaudini, Silva, Larson and Davison won the 200-yard medley relay in 1:50.48. Jacob Powers, Ethan Blackburn, Close and Schwegler swam the 200-yard freestyle relay in 1:43.22. Davison, Silva, Schwegler and Glaudini had a time of 3:39.25 in the 400-yard freestyle relay. Ramona’s swimmers spent April 5 at the Mission Viejo Invitational meet and as a combined boys-girls team finished 16th among the 32 participating schools. “It’s pretty stiff competition,” Yanez said. Three Bulldog boys advanced past the preliminary heats, including two who earned second-place finishes in the finals. One of those was Silva, whose time of 1:00.88 in his 100-yard breaststroke preliminary race was a season best for him and gave him the sixth seed

the Bulldogs didn’t wait for the other team’s third contact before placing themselves in a position for a block. “We kind of read and responded, which was nice to see,” he said. Ramona’s setter, Isaiah Spieker, had 23 assists against the Patriots and also had six serving aces. Trevor Johnson led the team with six kills. Davis Windes, Levi Vermeulen and Jake McLaughlin each had five kills. Cody Kealy and Lance Stickney had three kills apiece. McLaughlin is usually Ramona’s libero. The Bulldogs’ varsity roster consists of 10 players, limiting Klauda’s ability to rest his starters in a lopsided match, but backup libero Taylor Holas enabled McLaughlin to play outside hitter against the Patriots. McLaughlin’s five kills were the result of 10 swings.

in the championship final. Silva not only placed second in that final but did so with a time of 59.03 seconds, which broke the school record of 59.09 seconds that Silva had set last year at the Valley League meet. “That was pretty exciting for him,” Yanez said. Glaudini’s time of 1:54.54 in the 200yard individual medley championship final was a season best and an automatic qualifying time for the CIF meet as well as the second-fastest time of the race. Glaudini also posted a season-best and automatic qualifying time in the 50-yard freestyle preliminaries, completing his two laps in 21.93 seconds, before finishing seventh in the championship race with a 22.53-second performance. The swimmers with the top eight preliminary heat times in each event advance to the championship finals while the next eight swimmers compete in the consolation finals. Silva won the 200-yard individual medley consolation race, thus being awarded ninth place overall, while improving his CIF automatic qualifying time to 2:01.96. Davison’s automatic qualifying time of 1:04.55 in the 100-yard breaststroke consolation final gave him 13th place. Davison improved his consideration time in the 50-yard freestyle to 23.72 seconds, although that placed him 31st in the preliminary races and did not advance him to the finals. Schwegler was 33rd in the 500-yard freestyle preliminaries but improved his consideration time of 5:29.25. From page 21

Ramona started the match at Valley Center with a 26-24 victory. The Bulldogs completed the sweep with 25-13 and 25-19 wins over the Jaguars. “We actually didn’t play particularly well,” Klauda said. “The game was very subdued. It was unsettling, actually.” Spieker had 36 assists against Valley Center. Kealy had 12 kills in 22 swings, Stickney had 10 kills, and Windes and Johnson each had eight kills. Johnson also added three blocks. “We didn’t play super great,” Klauda said. “But it was enough.” Ramona’s 3-1 league record places the Bulldogs a game behind Escondido for the standings lead. “We can actually still have a shot at winning the league,” Klauda said. “We can’t afford to lose to anybody.”


Mt. Woodson Elementary School will host the fourth race of the Quadruple Crown Race Series on Friday, April 25, at Ramona Soccer Fields in Ramona Community Park off Aqua Lane. The race originally was scheduled to be held at the Grasslands trail off Highland Valley Road, but county parks denied the event request because parking along the road was considered unsafe, said event organizers. Open to elementary students in the Ramona and Julian school districts, the one-mile race will start and finish at the soccer snack bar and utilize the trail area by the fields. Races, divided by grades, will begin at 3:45 p.m. and take off every 15 minutes. Approximately 200 runners are expected. For more information or to register a student, see www.eventbrite.com/e/quadruple-crown-race-series2013-2014-tickets-8763486825. The event is free.

The Bulldogs also participated in the April 5 Mission Viejo Invitational meet. Although none of Ramona’s girls advanced past the preliminaries, Schwegler’s 35th-place time of 1:04.49 in the 100-yard backstroke improved her consideration time.

right-hander was almost perfect as he only allowed one Timberwolf to reach base and that was an infield single. Broussard struck out a seasonhigh 10. Dylan Spacke came in as relief and fired two shutout innings with three strikeouts.
